New Around Here
Okay so I recently found myself with access to the DSL-AC68U Asus Router. I looked around, great GNUton has done fantastic work and I found the https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/releases/tag/gnuton-snapshot-feature-repeater Repeater mode firmware. Perfect, I am looking to set up a router as a wireless repeater/extender.
I have a virgin media superhub 3 which I use as the router and modem for my internet needs. I installed the above firmware, switched to repeater mode, confirmed which network i wanted to repeat (Automatically assign IP) but when I look in the settings, I get:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0
So then I go into the settings and manually assign the repeater with:
IP Address: 192.168.0.11 (I found an empty location and assign it here)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (this is virgin media superhub's default gateway)
I then reboot and it wants me to go to 192.168.0.11 to see the Asus settings but it fails and gives the generic no connection chrome page (i use chrome as my default browser).
I have even tried adding the router via MAC address and assigning it 192.168.0.11 on the superhub's setting but no luck.
Am I using the experimental firmware incorrectly? I am almost convinced to give up and look up a DD-WRT or Tomato firmware. Any solutions would be most welcome. Thank you
